On The Indian Question

It’s clear Tech CEOs experience Indians differently than the majority of Americans.

Tech CEOs see Indians as friendly and loyal busy-bees who happily take jobs as an indentured laptop servants via their H-1B Visas. They don’t give them much trouble about promotions or disagreeing with their strategy because they can’t — their other option is to go back to India. It also isn’t in their nature to be confrontational.

I understand why tech execs like Indians. Who doesn’t want their house cleaned for less than $100? Indians are basically digital maids.

This isn’t how most Americans experience Indians.

Americans know Indians as the overly polite customer service person on the other side of the phone who repeats back to them everything they say in broken English to eventually not be able to help them at all until it’s escalated to a European supervisor. Americans will also find them ringing up items at weed shops and convenience stores or pumping gas.

For the most part Indians are in the background, but the little experience Americans have with them isn’t exactly admirable.

Women experience Indians as aggressive, rapey, and devoid of rizz.

American men of European descent don’t think about Indians much because they aren’t competing against them in the dating market. While competing for hot American girls — Indians, Asians and Blacks might as well be invisible.
